Liquid Transfer Tank Buying Guide

How to Choose the Right Transfer Tank

A liquid transfer tank is one of the most practical upgrades for hauling fuel, water, or other fluids safely to a jobsite, farm, or remote location. With several sizes and configurations available, choosing the right one comes down to what you’re hauling, how often you use it, and how much truck bed space you
can dedicate.

Ask yourself:

  • What type of liquid will you be transporting?
  • Do you need a tank strictly for transport, or one that can refuel equipment with a pump?
  • How much capacity do you realistically need?
  • Do you want to save bed space with or maximize volume?
  • Is lighter-weight more important, or do you prefer toughness?
  • Will this be occasional use or permanent?
